One thing that annoys me about the Democratic consultant class is how they act like they're brass-knuckle streetfighters and yet don't have the stones to run nonstop ads about Trump's extensive connections to Jeffrey Epstein. It's all true! It's documented! There are photos!

Trump later appointed this federal prosecutor as his first U.S. Secretary of Labor. www.kare11.com/article/news...

When dealing with pseudoscience, the devil is in the detail - in this case, narrowing down a specific "Lab Leak" hypothesis. In Dr. Chan's @nytimes.com OpEd there is, however, a very specific hypothesis for COVID-19 origin. It's a prime example of conspiracism vs empiricism, so let's dive in. 🧵

On the day of Dr. Fauci's testimony, @nytimes.com decides to run a deeply unethical OpEd with snazzy graphics and snappy headlines about the Lab Leak. The article itself contains multiple falsehoods and deep mischaracterizations. Let's take every point in turn 👇🧵 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I am reading the Laurence Learner Book about Truman Capote and the Swans. This is a useful resource to go with that. I am kind of obsessed with Gloria Guiness. www.vogue.com/article/capo...

Before Capote’s Swans Were in “Feud,” They Were in Voguewww.vogue.com See (almost) every photo of Babe Paley, Lee Radziwill, C.Z. Guest, and more that ran in Vogue over the years—some never before digitized.

The Stax documentary is so good. I love everybody in this which is substantially different from, say, the Beach Boys documentary on Disney+.

Before I got Covid I exericised every day for over 2 years straight. Lying there for 10 days, doing nothing sucked. I worked this week, but barely. Today, I did a walk for about an hour. I feel like I did a triatholon. What a crazy virus.

The 'rona has infected our home for the first time. We did pretty well to avoid this. This would have been terrifying a few years ago. I want to thank the previous government and most of the people here for doing all we could to minimize the damage. A lot more people would have died, otherwise.

I am glad you are pointing this out. We can never write off places. People have to live there and nobody deserves the second class citizens, or live in fear.

I need everyone to take a good look at this photo. Yes, the deep red states are governed by absolute idiots. That doesn't mean the people that live here are all reflect their heartless "leadership". I promise you, there are more people fighting for change than you realize.

This is disgraceful.

Jon Stewart getting really mad about a TikTok video instead of the traditional fluff Super Bowl interview with Presidents was the kind of misplaced and dumb outrage we old motherfuckers do all the time. Bravo, I guess.

So, this is interesting... inthesetimes.com/article/form... Diagonalism is an interesting political theory that I learned about here. The conspiritorial mindset is core to this and it is the bridge that brings seemingly disparate movements and people together across the political spectrum.

Fuck Amazon for using "In My Life" for one of their ads.

Dolly Parton's halftime peformance as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader is...a lot.

I can't think of a better song than Dear Prudence. The new remastering by Giles Martin should win awards. Beautiful.

Is this the place where I can fucking laugh and laugh and laugh at Winston Peters running the fucking show once again in New Zealand politics? Crazy shit, man.

I compensate October baseball anxiety with yard work and long walks. If my team keeps it up, I am going to learn the topiary arts like they have at Versailles.

I want science to measure just how fast I delete any scintilla of Piers Morgan's reckons about Gaza. Light speed.

Hell is listening to teenagers analyse elections.

The Rest is Politics podcast is excellent.
